Reversible pocket decoration

ABSTRACT

A reversible pocket decoration may include a first end with a first decoration; a second end with a second decoration that is different from the first decoration; where the reversible pocket decoration is sized to fit within a pocket, such that one of the first ends and second ends is visible extending out of the pocket and the other end is not visible within the pocket.

BACKGROUND

Pocket squares decorate the chest pocket of sport coats and suit jackets and made from silk linen or cotton. Someone usually carefully folds a square in one of many styles and then tucked into the pocket, with some portion protruding to add color to the sportscoat. The fashionable pocket square became popular during the 1920 s. In 1924, the linen handkerchief was replaced by a disposable tissue paper one and the linen pocket square began to decline.

Today a pocket square sets off a coat distinctively, but it serves little purpose except to catch someone's eye.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

FIG. 1 shows the reversible pocket decoration 100. The decoration 100 includes first and second ends 110, 120 opposite one another and separated by a middle portion 130. As shown, the first end 110 shows a first decoration that is a set of playing cards, though this decoration is exemplary. The second end 120 shows a pair of dice as its second decoration, which is also exemplary.

The middle portion 130 is generally neutral, though it could be imprinted with branding or other messages comprising a third decoration.

The decorations have first and second shapes 112, 122 corresponding to the visual depictions shown, with the playing cards and dice having corresponding shapes. The shapes 112, 122 may further include a third dimension extending towards the viewer.

The pocket decoration 100 has a first side 102 and second side 104. Although only the first side 102 is shown with a decoration, the second side 104 may also include third and fourth decorations corresponding to the two second side ends. The second side may include a slightly adhesive material or otherwise gripping material that holds the pocket decoration 100 in place.

FIG. 3 shows the pocket decoration 100 in use, with a visible portion 130 showing a portion of the first end 110 extending from the pocket 300, with the second end 120 and middle portion 130 making up a non-visible portion 140 extending into the pocket 300 and keeping the pocket decoration 100 secure in the pocket 300.

The pocket decoration 100 may be made by using a threading stitched through a base layer, which is itself attached to a backing. FIG. 4 shows the two layers of threading 402, 404 that extend through a base 410, and are attached to a backing 420. In terms of manufacturing, the threading is stitched onto the base 410 using an embroidery machine into a decorative pattern, and the threading/backing is laminated to the backing 430 (or non-woven material), after which the pocket decoration is cut to a final shape using a laser or die cut.

In a non-limiting material choice, polyester twill fabrics may be used for the backing and then embroidered with polyester or RAYON(TM) thread. The backing may be made from poly/cotton, cotton or nylon fabric.

A pocket decoration end may be generally sized within margins 2.5 in W by 3.5 in H and the total size of the pocket decoration 100 as 2.5 in W×8 in H.

A user wearing the pocket decoration 100 could swap the first end 110's and second end 120's visibility depending on a situation, for example, a playing card being visible during the evening at a casino in the card-playing section of the floor and the dice could be visible during dice games.
